The Georgia chapter of a Confederacy group filed a lawsuit Tuesday 
against a state park with the largest Confederate monument in the 
country, arguing officials broke state law by planning an exhibit on 
ties to slavery, segregation and white supremacy. Stone Mountain’s 
massive carving depicts Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Gen. 
Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson on horseback … State law 
protects the carving from any changes … Sons of the Confederate Veterans 
members have defended the carvings as honoring Confederate soldiers. The 
new exhibit would “completely repurpose the Stone Mountain Memorial 
Park” and “utterly ignore the purpose of the Georgia legislature in 
creating and maintaining” the park, the lawsuit says.
